Anyone seen The Brotherhood of War?
Just got it from Netflix.
I wouldn't put it in the top 5, but it's worth checking out.

 

Oh yea,
You guys remember Red Dawn???
Not the greatest movie ever but I liked certain parts of it.
I was intrigued by the whole idea of what it would be like if the United States were occupied by enemy forces.

 

What was that movie with Adrien Brody? The piano player? The hiding place

 

My top 5 are:
Gettysburg
Black Hawk Down
Kelly's Heroes
Saving Private Ryan
Full Metal Jacket

followed closely by:
Band of Brothers (I think it fits as a movie)
Braveheart
Red Dawn
Glory
Big Red One
Green Berets
Horatio Hornblower movies from A&E (great Napoleanic War stuff on the high seas)
Sharpe movies based on books by Bernard Cornwell(also Napoleanic War, but take place on land, great English war stuff, and Sean Bean(Boromir) is great as Richard Sharpe!)
The Dirty Dozen
Mister Roberts
The Last of the Mohicans
The Devil's Brigade

And, those war movies on a lighter note:
Father Goose (I'm with you Jess, great Cary Grant movie)

Sorry, I didn't mean to ramble, but once I start thinking of movies I like, I can't stop.
